In a remarkable achievement for the state's sports betting industry, North Carolina has eclipsed the $6 billion mark in total bets placed as of January. This milestone comes just ahead of the highly anticipated Super Bowl, highlighting the growing popularity of sports wagering among residents.
January marks the third time in five months that sports betting operators in North Carolina have contributed over $11 million in taxes to the state.
